COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RUSSIA INSIDER
Top Comedian Expertly
Explains - The Washington Post Is a National Disgrace
Sorry, there is nothing new here.
The Washington Post has always been a distorted source of
news on many subjects.
It may possibly have become more flagrant under Jeff Bezos,
but its essential nature remains unchanged.
Always, always, over my adult lifetime, the Washington Post
has been an outlet for CIA and Pentagon interests.
There wasn't a war or shabby intervention it did not work to
boost and support.
It published disinformation regularly.
It was one of the important organ keys in what an old CIA
propaganda expert years ago called his "mighty Wurlitzer Organ" and
described himself sitting down to it regularly to play new tunes.
All that phony-heroic stuff about "The President's
Men" decades ago was nonsense which gave the paper a big piece of credit
for investigative reporting and made corporate journalists heroes for a while.
The truth is that the entire Watergate affair was a CIA
set-up to topple Nixon, kind of a quiet coup.
The door-taping in the Watergate offices, which gave the
break-in gang away to a guard, was done by James McCord, an old CIA hand
recruited by Nixon's Plumbers operation, the kind of experienced old hand who
simply does not make that kind of stupid and obvious mistake.
And the Woodward part of Woodward and Bernstein in "All
the President's Men" had a not-widely-known history in intelligence work.
Later, he would do things like writing a book praising George W. Bush.
Even if you don’t accept this interpretation of the
Watergate affair, the Washington Post’s long-term record in reporting events
abroad and in Washington itself remains shabby and dishonest.
